Bug fixes and improvements to synching.

User reviews

Great for Cyberpunk R.E.D

I can read all of my cyberpunk PDF books on this app itโ€™s great I would recommend to anyone who likes these type of books

App wont launch

The app upon opening flashes the โ€œOne book shelfโ€ logo and then crashes. I have deleted and reinstalled, restarted and tried again. Neither worked. Itโ€™s a shame I canโ€™t even try the app.

Much improved!

The recent updates have solved the synching problem, after I deleted and reinstalled the app. It works well now.

Works, but bare bones

Canโ€™t even keep its downloads going when not focused. Try adding a notification or a live activity or something. Defaults to 3 simultaneous downloads which I suspect is bad for speed when files are large. Frankly, amateurish.

This is app is great! A couple minor, minor issues, but no complaints.

I love this app, and it works very well. I'd say it works like it should and/or needs to.
It does have a few small to medium issues, but no app is perfect (most are not anywhere near that; good luck finding the few that are near-perfect).
For example, I occasionally have trouble downloading things, having to try again and again (several times, and rarely a lot) to get it to successfully download one, or a few, of my library purchases.
This is likely because of a poor connection or some other
non-app related reason, but it's hard to say for sure.
It continually shows an error in the downloading process, which can be quite frustrating.

Other than that, I no complaints or issues, and the Drivethru Library app serves my needs well (which are admittedly not that much in the way of needs).
